I understand your concerns about using Cogiton, especially given your history of stomach ulcer.
Cogiton (piracetam) is a nootropic drug, used, m.in, to improve cognitive function, including memory. This drug is prescribed by doctors for a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions.
If you do not currently have active peptic ulcer disease or are not taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the same time, there is no reason to worry. Clinical trials of Cogiton did not show an increase in the incidence of peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding compared to placebo.
If you decide to take the drug, you should carefully observe any disturbing symptoms from the digestive system. It is also worth considering taking it with a meal, which can reduce the risk of stomach irritation.
If this situation raises doubts in you, it is always worth consulting a gastroenterologist who can assess the current condition of your digestive system. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
